Samples are organized by chapter, and then by "application" or example name. You should open a project in Visual Studio .NET through the .sln (solution) file.
Note that Visual Studio .NET automatically creates various temporary and debugging files in the obj and bin sub-directory for each project. The actual uncompiled code is only the .vb files that are contained in the root project directory.
LiScNLS is a Matlab application for the numerical study of some nonlinear
differential equations of the form Lu=Nu, using the Lyapunov-Schmidt method.
Downloading the LiScNLS package creates a new LiScNLS folder on the computer.
LiteSQL is a C++ library that integrates C++ objects tightly to relational database and thus provides an object persistence layer. LiteSQL supports SQLite3, PostgreSQL and MySQL as backends. LiteSQL creates tables, indexes and sequences to database and upgrades schema when needed.
n this demo, we show how to use Rao-Blackwellised particle filtering to exploit the conditional independence structure of a simple DBN. The derivation and details are presented in A Simple Tutorial on Rao-Blackwellised Particle Filtering for Dynamic Bayesian Networks. This detailed discussion of the ABC network should complement the UAI2000 paper by Arnaud Doucet, Nando de Freitas, Kevin Murphy and Stuart Russell. After downloading the file, type "tar -xf demorbpfdbn.tar" to uncompress it. This creates the directory webalgorithm containing the required m files. Go to this directory, load matlab5 and type "dbnrbpf" for the demo.
On-Line MCMC Bayesian Model Selection
This demo demonstrates how to use the sequential Monte Carlo algorithm with reversible jump MCMC steps to perform model selection in neural networks. We treat both the model dimension (number of neurons) and model parameters as unknowns. The derivation and details are presented in: Christophe Andrieu, Nando de Freitas and Arnaud Doucet. Sequential Bayesian Estimation and Model Selection Applied to Neural Networks . Technical report CUED/F-INFENG/TR 341, Cambridge University Department of Engineering, June 1999. After downloading the file, type "tar -xf version2.tar" to uncompress it. This creates the directory version2 containing the required m files. Go to this directory, load matlab5 and type "smcdemo1". In the header of the demo file, one can select to monitor the simulation progress (with par.doPlot=1) and modify the simulation parameters.
The software implements particle filtering and Rao Blackwellised particle filtering for conditionally Gaussian Models. The RB algorithm can be interpreted as an efficient stochastic mixture of Kalman filters. The software also includes efficient state-of-the-art resampling routines. These are generic and suitable for any application. For details, please refer to Rao-Blackwellised Particle Filtering for Fault Diagnosis and On Sequential Simulation-Based Methods for Bayesian Filtering After downloading the file, type "tar -xf demo_rbpf_gauss.tar" to uncompress it. This creates the directory webalgorithm containing the required m files. Go to this directory, load matlab and run the demo.

In this demo, I use the EM algorithm with a Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoother and an M step, which I ve recently derived, to train a two-layer perceptron, so as to classify medical data (kindly provided by Steve Roberts and Will Penny from EE, Imperial College). The data and simulations are described in: Nando de Freitas, Mahesan Niranjan and Andrew Gee Nonlinear State Space Estimation with Neural Networks and the EM algorithm After downloading the file, type "tar -xf EMdemo.tar" to uncompress it. This creates the directory EMdemo containing the required m files. Go to this directory, load matlab5 and type "EMtremor". The figures will then show you the simulation results, including ROC curves, likelihood plots, decision boundaries with error bars, etc. WARNING: Do make sure that you monitor the log-likelihood and check that it is increasing. Due to numerical errors, it might show glitches for some data sets.
